House Oversight Committee Republicans are accusing the Biden administration of “actively” working to sabotage the “Remain in Mexico” policy and allowing for the release of illegal immigrants into the U.S., after conducing multiple discussions with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents on the border.
Ranking Member Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., led several GOP members in sending a letter Wednesday to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas raising concerns that the administration is not enforcing the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), commonly known as the “Remain in Mexico” policy, that allows the U.S. to send migrants back over the border to await immigration hearings.
A federal court ruled in 2021 that the administration must keep the policy in place “in good faith” because it violated the Administrative Procedure Act in deciding to end the protocol.
